I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: Tell HHS how wireless radiation has affected you, your child, your family, or someone you care about. You may describe the source and duration of the exposure, health effects experienced, when they began, whether reducing exposure made a difference, and how these experiences have affected daily life. If you are an ally, describe why you support people affected by wireless radiation and why you believe HHS should address this issue. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. I have walked and biked my dog through many areas for years. Lately, as many more of these wireless devices have been installed on area poles or buildings I payed little attention until my dog started refusing to go near these areas once the devices were activated. I suspect EMF waves so I bought a detector and, sure enough, it pegged out in areas near these devices where my dog freaks out and pulls hard to get away from them. I notice my own body has reactions too. If we are off in the woods, away from frequency emitters everything is fine. However, even in remote areas some of these devices exist. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, advocate, concerned member of the public]. In 2021 I was working from home for one year by this time.wheningot a blast to my right ea, forcing me to throw my work headset off my head. I screamed as I was answering my first call after morning break. That evening, the pain and pressure got worse and traveled from my ear to my temple then to my front lobe of my brain. I wanted answers neurologist didn’t know much about EMF, RF But told me it was psychological. I knew all I was doing at the time was answering a phone call, therefore, I did nothing to cause it and that I was injured. I told my employer, but the injuries continued until I had to go out on disability. It caused me financial hardship and no doctor s in NJ knew how to treat it. The only thing that helped is getting away from it. I feel HHS should look into this because I can kill you it causes biological damage to our tissues and organs. Thank you for caring about a very important issue. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

Subject: Response to RFI HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Early-life electromagnetic field exposure and neurodevelopment: a pathophysiological hypothesis and a prospective cohort protocol. Perspective Physicians and researchers (healthcare professionals; research entity). Source: peer-reviewed research; the published protocol is attached. Observations from research This submission does not report human exposure-effect data; it presents a pathophysiological hypothesis and a protocol to test it [1]. We hypothesize that chronic exposure to anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation during the first 24 months of life, particularly during sleep, may act as a modulating cofactor in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The hypothesized mechanisms are altered Ca2+/calmodulin signaling, mitochondrial oxidative stress, microglial activation and desynchronization of the mirror neuron system, consistent with the theoretical framework of Resonant Convergence [2]. Within this framework, Ion Cyclotron Resonance and thermomagnetic resonance are candidate transduction hypotheses, not yet validated. We explicitly acknowledge the constraints imposed by thermal noise [3]. The epidemiological objective is independent of the validation of these mechanisms: 1. Primary endpoint: continuous composite score (ESCS, CDI/MSEL, EEG mu rhythm 8-13 Hz). 2. Secondary exploratory endpoint: ASD diagnosis at 24 months (ADOS-2, ADI-R, DSM-5). Analyses use mixed-effects models and Firth regression, adjusted for socioeconomic status, screen time and parental health anxiety. Recommendation: prospective birth cohorts with objective exposure measurement. Knowledge gaps and exposure classification Prospective data on nighttime exposure during the first two years of life are lacking. Beyond SAR and power density, classification should account for low-frequency modulation, the ELF magnetic component, cumulative duration, time of day (sleep) and age of the exposed individual. Exposure assessment We propose integrating environmental RF/ELF measurements, source-proximity analysis, device inventories and wearable dosimetry, with objective verification of adherence to nighttime shielding. Children A differentiated assessment is needed. The 6-18 month window is critical for the maturation of the mirror neuron system and grey matter. During this phase, plasticity depends on calcium-dependent mechanisms and on the temporal precision of neuronal activity. Evidence below current limits In human cortical organoids, chronic RF exposure (800-2400 MHz) altered radial glia differentiation and induced the expression of ASD-associated genes via BET pathways. The effect was reversed by BET inhibition [4]. These are in vitro data, not directly extrapolable to humans, but they support the biological plausibility of the hypothesis. A preliminary study also observed EEG modulation with ELF fields of 20-30 microT at 1-4 Hz [5]. Research priorities Prospective pilot studies with continuous neurodevelopmental endpoints, followed by adequately powered confirmatory trials. We suggest that NIH fund pediatric cohorts with standardized dosimetry and common protocols for measuring infant exposure. Additional information Theoretical framework: [2].

I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. In 2021, a 5G antennae was installed on the roof of my apartment building. I started to hear a high-pitched tone that never stopped. It was especially noticeable when it was most quiet, when there were no background noises around like traffic, conversations, or the tv. I had to play music at night to drown out the tone to go to sleep. It stopped when I moved out of that building, but comes back when I'm around those towers and remains most noticeable at night.

The FCC RF safety guidelines should be updated to protect the public's health and safety as well as prevent the real potential for privacy infringement and sabotage of our nation's electricity and communications' grid. The current safety guidelines are based on inappropriate (thermal) data prior to 1996, before the explosion of wireless technology. It is unfathomable to me that our government has let slide these inaccurate/outdated guidelines from 1996, including the edict that communities could not use environmental or health harm to fight placement in our neighborhods. To me this is proof that the telecommunications industry knew back then of the harm this technology could cause. This law has been used to ignore information of harm, forcing neighborhoods to accept anytime/anywhere placement of increasingly powerful/harmful cell towers. We were promised wired fiber optic and, instead, were baited & then switched to wireless. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.
